Good move Vikings. Not the greatest RT, but still young, HUGE, and with more seasoning, perhaps less prone to false starts. The continuity factor for our O-line was more important than what else might have been out there.

Good. Keeping the O-line intact is a huge plus after they jelled last year. Loadholt has his issues in pass protection and this causes too many penalties for lining up too far off the line to get a better angle. Still, he was a true road grader blocking for AP.

Would it surprise anyone if Loadholt followed in the steps of his mentor, McKinnie?

Play somewhat decent on your existing contract, sign a big new contract, get in line at the Buffet restaurants and eat yourself fat, show up fat in camp and go thru the motions to collect your new paycheck. Just look at the guy, he can’t wait to get in line at Golden Corral.

Would have been a nice pickup for the Bears, but RT was not the biggest need on the o-line.

Here’s some simple math for all you vikings fans, and this is all you really need to know. Vikings – AD = 0-16!

It’s the Viqueefs for Christs sake. The team famous for wearing little girl braids and purple jerseys. They are also the team that has choked in 4 Superbowls. Not to mention 2009 when their #1 girl BrINT Perve couldn’t lead them to the promise land. They also had the love boat incident where Viqueefs players were witnessed engaging in ‘man on man’ action. Then their precious humpty dump collapsed a few years back. These chodes have been the laughing stock of the league for over 50 years! Seeing them fall flat on their face every year while Karla Heinrichs and Syd Davy lead the weekly circle jerk in the purple grandma lot is absolutely hilarious.LOLZ. GO PACK GO!!!

Clay Matthews just breathed a huge sigh of relief. Didn’t want him out of the division.

For all those who think the Vikes will go down hill Remember this ya, ll thouht that last year how’d that work out for you The cancer has been removed the Vikes have the picks, And the cap space to impact the Division

I doubt that this will happen, but it is still unclear to me why the Vikes don’t make a big offer to Victor Cruz and give the Giants their original first rounder. Cruz is an ultra-productive slot receiver who can also play outside, tough (not prone to injury), and seemingly a great team player. He would likely cost about the same as Harvin, but without the diva act or the missed games.

The Giants are too close to the cap to be able to match an incentive-laden deal the Vikes could afford (unfortunate that they can no longer do a poison pill deal now like they used to get Hutchinson, as that would make it much easier).

Cruz is from the NYC area and likely really wants to stay with the Giants, but he probably wants a long-term deal in the $8-10 mill/year range even more.

Jennings would be fine, but he’s a short-term fix. Cruz would help Ponder and the team a lot more and for a lot longer.

Thank you lord baby jesus. I thought they were serious about the Bears looking at this oaf. “whistle blowing””false start on the offense, the big idiot there who can’t stand still for a two count, ol’ whats his number.” Hahaha, enjoy. Just thinmk if he would have had one more false start A. Peterson would have broke the record.
